C19th Indian Red Lacquered Trunk / Chest on Stand

19th century
Description

A handsome early C19th Indian lacquered trunk / chest on stand; very rare original red example; the rectangular hinged lid revealing the original pale blue interior retaining its lift out tray with pierced carrying handles. The whole chest profusely decorated with gilt trailing foliage and flowers on the red background; having an ornate pierce brass escutcheon and lock; with brass swan neck carrying handles to the sides. Raised on a good ebonised low stand having a moulded edge, shaped aprons and raised on square section cabriole legs; trunk lifting off the stand so could be used separately. The stand probably made in England at a slightly later date than the chest. All decoration is repeated on the back so can be used free standing. These desirable trunks were produced in the early C19th in the Bareilly region of India predominantly for the growing appetite of wealthy Europeans for highly decorative and lacquered furniture.

India circa 1800

Good sound and stable original condition with some wear and minor historic distressing commensurate with age and use.

Dimensions (ins) 41 wide x 28 deep x 34 high (max with stand);

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the 19th century, artisans in India produced lacquered wooden trunks incorporating traditional botanical patterns, often created for domestic trade or export and mounted on raised stands to protect contents from humidity.

These pieces were typically constructed from indigenous hardwoods, finished with natural resin-based lacquer paints, and fitted with hand-worked brass escutcheons and hardware.

Authentic examples feature natural surface craquelure, age-appropriate wear to painted areas, hand-carved joinery on the stand, and hand-cut brass fittings.

Position the piece as a focal accent in an entryway or living room, allowing the red foliage decoration to provide contrast against light walls or complement dark timber panelling.

Position the item away from direct sunlight and central heat sources to prevent cracking, dusting softly with a dry microfibre cloth while avoiding liquid polishes or solvents.
